RC, I went to the main site and ordered it from there.  And yes, I used their "loopy goopy" roller.

Thanks!

How much kiwi grip did you have to use to do your boat?

I was hoping you could elaborate on the spray rails.  Did it provide a noticable difference?
I need to do something or my girl is going to kill me.  This weekend she got hit over and over with splash after splash of 60 degree water. :oops:

I love the boat but the spray is out of controll.

I have ridden in a few FBs, and in my opinion it makes a big difference - I would go for it.  there are other options that are easier to install (but way more $$$) like the "Smartrail".  Let me know what you decide.

Rick,
Let's see some interior photos. Also I would like to see how the hatches turned out. Have you got to the raw water wash down yet?

Sure, let me get some pics tomorrow while on the water and I will post up.

In the meantime, here are a few I had already:









As you can see, I still have one unfinished hatch up front - it will get done this winter.

LilRichard,
Great job on your boat. Do you still have the center console you started to rebuild? I just started my 73 22.2 and would be interested in buying it from you if you still have it. I just read your thread again to get ideas and motivation. Your boat is top notch.

P.D.

I am having/did some of the rebuild myseld a 74 222, and was wondering exactly how much you though it drafted at rest. I am trying to make mine self bailing and was thinking 15inches would be a safe bet, but was not sure as I will have a 225 opti back there on a porta bracket.
Also what setback bracket did you use I am debating about which one I should buy.

Thanks Kyle

Lilrichard/Anyone,

Where did you get your 3lb divinyfoam for your stringers? I am looking for a place to get the 3" sheets. Thanks in advance! BTW, absolutely beautiful rebuild, she looks amazing!

Nutts: Closed Cell Foam came from FGCI in St Pete.

Kyle: Don't know the exact depth she sits at rest - never measured it.  If the weather gets out of the 40s, I will toss her in the water soon and will tell you.  But I can say that I raised my floor almost 2", and I can BARELY self bail with my drains on the sides of the cockpit... if they were in the rear they would be under water.
